Happy Bigfoot Day.... Oct 20th

There have been findings of hair that were analyzed and were not any of the animals we know of...
 
I am a skeptic at best
I spend a lot of time out doors, and I am Located in the State of Washington, and teld to find myself in most of the 'Bigfoot hotspots' often

.....there is some weird shit that happens here :laughing:

But what gets me is the little consistencies of these stories
As a kid, I would go to the library and check out these books about this hairy ape/man/monster/monkey thing

read the stories, and here is the part that has always stood out to me:
First 'Bigfoot Report' was the early 1800's
The little details, like rock throwing, wood knocks, night whoot's, the smell, the 'watching'. They are all there over and over.
The other things that stand out to me, how does a trapper in the PNW have a 'big monkey' story that matches cave paintings from the Indians in the SE part of the country? This is before the first set of train tracks are even built across the country. How do they have the same story to tell? they didn't get their story off of Reddit, or irate.... how?:stirthepot:
 
With the amount of game cameras out in the woods, combined with the amount of "influencer" hikers who record literally every fucking thing they do out in the woods and post it on youtube, the fact that there's not been any videos more famous or more compelling than that video tells me that either those things were real at one point and conveniently went extinct right around the proliferation of the digital camera, or they were never real to begin.

Naw, they just never made it over to the new universe after CERN accidentally destroyed the original with their enormous hadron.

One was late '90s, the son (guessing 10 yo at the time) and I were out on our Mt. Bikes. We stopped at the top of a hill for a breather and water. We had just started drinking and this scream came out of no where. It started as a low growl (I thought it was a 2-stoke starting up) and worked its way up to a scream that was deafening. Super loud, super long and the sound waves were beating off your chest like being at the top fuel drags. Wild! Looked all around for the source of it, but it was typical thick washington woods, you couldn't see crap. We slowly back away and took off..

prolly a small aircraft/plane getting ready to take off from a runway from a secret cannabis plot-
 
Kid I went to school with shared a story that is interesting.

His dad was fishing on the river out here East of Seattle minding his own business when a rock was thrown into the middle of the river. Caught his attention. Happened again and he yelled at the kids he thought was messing with him. Nothing. All of a sudden a HUGE rock, big enough to where the normal person couldn't throw it 3ft into the river, was thrown well from the depths of the woods and splashes into the middle of the river.... :eek:

He got out of there in a hurry!


Now I think its fun to believe BF could be out there so why not believe it? Also believe in aliens and ghosts (for the most part, maybe more spirits?).
 
Should check out “The facts by how to hunt” on YouTube. Just be mindful it’s not PG because language.

I saw one back in the fall of 2003. Real short version. My 98 Trans Am has a procharger on it. Never saw animals near the road because it sounded like a turbojet engine coming down the road.

Driving through PA on a two lane road this deer comes darting across looking not at me but behind it. Gave zero cares about my car. I hit it it slid off the hood and as I’m getting out of the car it jumped up looked back where it came from and off it went.

I stood there looking at my TA atwhat I could see in the moon light (not much other than a missing drivers headlight) and heard a short growl. Turned to look a 8-9’ tall human like individual standing MAX 100-120’ from me. It turned and walked away faster than I would be able to run.

You’re damn right I got back in the car and got outta dodge.

I called my Mom to let her know I got to my destination. I was fine but I had hit a deer. Left out the Sasquatch part because I was still in “What the hell was that?” and how do you explain the individual?
 
I've been in and around the PNW woods most of my life. I've never seen a Squatch, but I'll never say they DON'T exist. As others said, weird shit happens in the woods. All of the common anecdotes about sounds, smells, feelings, being watched, etc, do happen. And more. Maybe it's a primate, more likely it's other critters. Been stalked by cougars, that's a weird eerie one. They also make tons of weird noises but humans rarely hear them in the wild. Encountered some bears, they can be grumpy and loud but stay out of sight. They also tend to stink and like to rub against trees so many of us have probably smelled them. Ravens make damn weird noises and are curious about humans.

But there have been a few instances where the sound or animal shape/size or situation wasn't quite right in retrospect.

Up on the side of Mt St Helens, we encountered something in a tree that sounded like a 4-stroke dirt bike starting up. Above us. There were no trails or paths between us and the treeline. No other echos in the area. The pup had a confused "WTF?" look. We grabbed the kid and high tailed it back to the last access point to the paved service road and walked out on the road. At the time we thought it could have been a cougar. Probably was, they can make crazy noises.

We've seen big things cross the road in the distance at twilight, or at night in the edge of your headlight throw.

The worst is when the forest is normal, with normal sounds and movement, then in an instant goes completely dead silent. You know something just spooked every bird, mammal, and insect at the same time.

Went for a hike down in Big Sur, Ca. at night and took a bunch of people with us who had no business going (was a college party that decided to go hiking when the beer ran out). We had about a dozen in our group and two girls couldn't quite hang on the long climb back out to the car. They dropped waaaay back behind us and I went back to check on them. I could hear a cougar sneaking along up on the embankment next to us, basically pacing the girls the whole way. It took me a few minutes walking with them to realize what was going on and when I did I'm pretty sure every hair on my body stood up on end. I yelled for our large group to wait up and told them no matter how hard it hurt we were going to double time up to them, the cougar peeled off when we got within range of the larger group. Everyone walked slow and made sure those two made it out after that.

The creepiest thing I ran into was a cougar in heat. Thank god it happened during the day because they sound a lot like a cross between someone beating the ever living shit out of a cow and a woman screaming.

Never had any bigfoot like encounters, but I have a few buddies that lived up in the Santa Cruz mountains who swear up and down that bigfoot has thrown rocks at them or hooted at them or whatever else it is that bigfoot does more than once.

Sure, blame the cougar for the sounds you made while getting cougar raped.:flipoff2:

Steve has some strong feelings about things he believes. Good guy though and one HELL of a blacktail deer hunter!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

BTW- The How to Hunt guy's BF video is a hoax. After seeing that, I can't trust anything he says.

Yep, it seems like there are three types of outdoor people up here in the PNW:

1) Those who've had some kind of encounter, whether it be a sighting, or rocks thrown, growls, foot stomps, foot prints etc.
2) Those who know someone who has.
3) Those that don't pay much attention to what's going on around them or maybe better said, puts off things they've seen or heard as just weird and doesn't give it any thought.

To clarify #3 - I keep meeting people who claim to have spent a ton of time in the woods, hunting, fishing hiking etc. and they've never seen or heard anything weird...... except this one time......such and such happened.

This past summer, I was at my local bike shop picking up some parts and chatting with the owner. We've known each other for a few years and when the subject comes up he always laughs and starts to say how much time he has spent in the woods, hiking, biking, hunting etc. and has never had anything weird happen..... except this one night, he and a bunch of buddies were out having a bonfire, drinking, yelling, laughing etc. when something up on the ridge started growling, breaking branches, and what sounded like a couple trees getting pushed down, so they put the fire out and left. I just smiled at him and told him congrats, that was an encounter. One chased them off.

Another friend who had at the time, over 900 hikes in the Northern Cascades, most of them solo. He even had a pic of a Grizzly years before the WA Fish & Wildlife says any had returned to the Cascades. This guy knew all the animals, all the sounds they make and would flat out state he has never ran across anything that would make him think BF existed. So I ask him if he has ever heard wood knocks. Had to explain to him what they were and his eyes just got big. He says he would be out in the middle of a wilderness area, mid-week, knowing that the chance of another person being within a few miles of him was extremely slim and out of nowhere, it sounds like someone is trying to chop down a tree and then another "tree cutter" would be chopping down a tree over away from the first. I just smiled and told him that those were BFs communicating back and forth, sounding the alarm that my buddy was coming through their area.

It goes on and on, have heard those types of stories a dozen or more times.

I've posted some of my experiences both on this and the old board. Even posted a footprint of one that walked right by our camp in the middle of the day this past summer.

I listen to the videos while driving back/forth to work. I know he shows pics and says something to the effect take it for what it’s worth.

If he showed a video I missed it, like I said above he may have showed a video and let others decide.

When my situation happened cell phones were out but without cameras. The LAST thing on my mind was taking a picture.
 
I like how nobody has gotten a good picture of one, or a good video of one, and no scientific observation of one has ever been done, cause we can't seem to find the damn thing.

...but we know for sure that if we hear knocking sounds in the woods its samsquanches. Because that's how they communicate, ya know.

Possible alternative explanation: we have a baseball bat of a dry dead tree that knocks against another tree when there's any wind. Stronger wind = louder knock. What if that happened across a valley from an area that provided a strong echo?
